Well, it’s almost January, so of course that means it’s time to start thinking about SummerStage again. The first unofficially announced show of the 2011 season is The Script on June 4, 2011 at the Rumsey Playfield. The Script’s new album Science and Faith is set to drop in the US on January 18, 2011 on Epic Records.
In other Summerstage news, your band could snag an opening act spot in the SummerStage 2011 season and a concert at WNYC’s The Greene Space by winning WNYC’s Battle of the Boroughs Talent Quest 2011. All entries must be received no later than December 31st, 2010 at 11:59 PM.
